In a statement issued, the
Congress of the People says it is increasingly concerned about the severe
impact of the drought gripping the country on agriculture and on food
production.

COPE spokesperson Dennis Bloem
says, lack of adequate and prompt action on the part of government will
seriously compromise food security in the country

“When there is a drought on
the farm, the farmers alone are not affected but the entire country is effected
because food comes from the farm.” Bloem added.
